‘ocean!’ Sokcho, a place that comes to mind unintentionally. The grandeur of Mt. Seorak and the East Sea, as well as the Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market and the Sokcho Lighthouse Observatory, which are embedded like jewels in the bosom of Sokcho, enrich your trip to Sokcho. The center of the city tour is the Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market. Established in 1953 after the end of the Korean War, the 1st Corps Corps of Engineers and merchants worked together to make this place famous as a dried pollack market in the 1960s and 1970s, when pollack was in abundance, and as a dried squid market in the 1980s and 1990s, when squid was in full swing. After changing its name to Sokcho Tourism and Fisheries Market in 2006, it has grown into a representative tourism and fishery market of the East Coast, visited by travelers looking for various foods such as sweet and sour chicken, dried fish, and hotteok. You can take a boat from Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market to see Abai Village, or enjoy the lively harbor and beautiful coastal scenery at Dongmyeong Port.
